User initals from input box

[k66any 0]

Hi All,

I am new to the Autoit software and just trying to find my feet. I am using this toolset to automate creation of systems web bases, AS400 and AD LAN creates.

One of the systems requires a users initals of there name (Tom Jones) so would require TJ to be extracted from a guictrl input box and just been reading through the forum which usually gives me the answers but cant find anything.

Can someone point me in the right direction

$Firstname = GUIctrlcreateInput("", 388,275,130,20)

$Surname = GUIctrlcreateInput("", 388,275,130,20)

i presume its a guictrlread but that only gives me the users full name not the initals

Thanks peeps

Quite simple:

$sFirstname = GUICtrlread($Firstname)
$sSurname = GUICtrlRead($Surname)
$sInitials = Stringleft($sFirstname,1) & Stringleft($sSurname,1)

BTW: You have to change the coords of $Surname in the GUI otherwise you overlay $Firstname.

$sFirstname = GUICtrlread($Firstname)

$sSurname = GUICtrlRead($Surname)

$sInitials = Stringleft($sFirstname,1) & Stringleft($sSurname,1)
